Financial Performance Engine

Enable every agent to perform like your top 10%

Your best agents do something emotionally different in every conversation. Sentient Machines identifies exactly what that is, and intervenes in real time to help every agent replicate it.

The problem

The gap between your best agents and the rest is invisible. And it is costing you

Most contact centres review 3 to 5% of interactions manually. Coaching is based on a tiny sample of calls, often the wrong ones. Your top performers are doing something consistently different in their conversations, but nobody can see it clearly enough to teach it.

The result is a performance distribution that doesn't shift. New agents take months to reach competency. Attrition runs at 35% annually. And the gap between your best agent and the average, compounded across thousands of calls each month, is a significant and invisible financial loss.

What it delivers

Real-time interventions that close the performance gap

The engine doesn't just surface what is happening. During every live call it tells your agent exactly what to do next. Post-call, it provides structured coaching based on every conversation, not the 4% currently reviewed.

  • Live call prompts, the engine tells your agent exactly what emotional response is needed, in the moment, as the conversation unfolds
  • Top performer profiling, identifies the emotional patterns that separate your best agents and makes those patterns visible, measurable and teachable
  • Post-call coaching for every agent, structured development based on every conversation, with specific actions not generic scores
  • Conversion signal detection, surfaces buying signals in real time so agents know when the customer is ready to commit
  • Competency acceleration, new agents reach performance benchmarks in weeks, not months, with continuous data-driven support
  • Attrition reduction, agents who are supported, fairly measured and coached on real data stay longer

Relevant concerns

Financial performance

Why does conversion vary so much between agents, and what is it costing us?
The engine identifies exactly what your top performers do differently, makes it teachable, and intervenes in real time on every call to close the gap.

Customer outcomes

How do we ensure every customer gets the same quality of experience, regardless of who picks up the call?
Consistent emotional intelligence across the team means consistent customer outcomes, at 100% of interactions not the 4% currently reviewed.

People and wellbeing

How do we reduce attrition, support agent wellbeing and get new people up to speed faster?
Agents who are coached on real data, supported in the moment and fairly assessed are measurably more likely to stay and perform.
